It looks like its an issue with the bridge, nothing to do with WSL, but that is pretty much the only place on the internet to report it. The bridge is literally sending packets to the wrong interface (an interface that isn't even a part of the bridge!). Since it's closed source, no one except Microsoft can look into it.

But to figure out what was wrong took a really deep dive into Windows networking, and it is bonkers, absolutely bonkers. At least compared to every other networking stack I've ever deep dived into. Maybe if you spend enough time with it, everything else looks bonkers. So maybe you're correct:
